(In my defence, I did see 2001: A Space Odyssey and was smitten and distracted by Keir Dullea at the time.) But now I have seen it. FLESH, as you might expect from the Warhol Factory, has a lot of nudity, male and female, including the occasional erection. It’s not porn: there are a couple of moments of simulated sex but the flesh is all open and natural. It IS the point and it isn’t, simultaneously. Erotic, definitely. Sexy as hell, in fact. Let me say I was dumbfounded, moved in a good way. Now I understand why this film is a classic.

I absolutely DIDN’T like the messed up drug induced thinking. Andy Warhol puts out some movies that include some interesting nudity and sexuality, but they are really just films of people who seem to have their brains ruined with drugs. I gave it a four-star rating because of the nudity, but otherwise would have given it a one-star rating.
